Wire-to-Board Terminal for 17-20 AWG — Brass Contact, Through-Board Termination
The TE Connectivity 925552-1 is a wire-to-board (WTB) terminal designed for 17-20 AWG stranded wire, with a brass contact finish and a through-board termination style. It accepts insulation diameters from 0.071" to 0.130" (1.80 mm to 3.30 mm), making it suitable for common automotive and industrial wire gauges in that range. The overall length is 0.453" (11.51 mm). This terminal is intended to be inserted into a plated-through hole on a PCB and soldered — not crimped into a connector housing — so the assembly process is a soldering step, not a crimp-and-poke operation.
What the Brass Contact Finish Means for Your Application
The brass contact finish is a cost-effective choice for moderate-duty environments where high mating cycle counts or corrosive atmospheres are not a concern. Unlike gold-plated terminals rated for 50+ cycles, brass contacts are best suited for applications with limited reconnection — think a one-time solder joint to a PCB, not a repeatedly mated connector interface.
Mating and Assembly — What It Works With
This terminal is designed for through-board soldering — it does not mate with a separate receptacle housing. It is inserted into a PCB hole and soldered, with the wire crimped into the barrel before insertion. The 17-20 AWG range covers common power and signal wire sizes; the insulation diameter envelope must be checked against the actual wire jacket to ensure the crimp barrel closes properly. No special crimping tool is specified in the listing, but a standard open-barrel crimp tool for the wire gauge range will work.
